Dr. Frederick Bebe, Assistant Research Professor at KSU, will lead the project titled "Assessment of skin cancer awareness, knowledge, and prevalence in small, limited-resources, and minority farmers in KY".

This statewide initiative, conducted in collaboration with Northern Kentucky University and Berea College, aims to evaluate skin cancer awareness among farmers and identify barriers to preventive practices. The research addresses a pressing public health challenge, particularly prevalent among minority populations and in agricultural communities.

Dr. Bebe, along with esteemed collaborators, will spearhead the project, ensuring its success. In related news, Dr. Bebe co-published an article in Frontiers in Animal Science.
